Stay up to date
Corvic checks for updates shortly after launch and every few hours, installs them in the background, and offers to restart. Choose Check for Updates… in the app menu to check now.
Work with folders on your Mac
In a chat, choose + Add Folder from this Mac. The folder belongs to that chat only. Its files are read on your Mac, not uploaded. Each folder has a mode:
If you don’t answer a prompt within two minutes, Corvic takes it as a no. Choose Detach to remove a folder from the chat.
Ask about local data
Corvic can query Excel, CSV, TSV, Parquet, and JSON files in place with read-only SQL, and search and read Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and text files. Only the rows a query returns reach the agent.Preview files
Select a file to preview it: sheets, tables, PDFs, and images, up to 50 MB. Nothing is uploaded. From a preview you can Open in its app, Show in Finder, or Ask Corvic, and add selected text or cells to the chat. Text in images is recognized on your Mac, so you can select it and ask about it.Edit workbooks in place
Corvic can change.xlsx and .xlsm workbooks directly: edit cells, add or rename sheets, or create a new workbook. Formulas are recalculated and saved with the file. You can type into cells yourself, too.
Every edit keeps the original. Choose Undo on the edit’s summary to put the file back as it was. Undo is available for 30 days, as long as the file hasn’t changed since. Corvic won’t edit a file another app has open.
